Question for Horus!

Post by Ruby Slippers »

What's the difference between a 'bot' and a 'crawler'? No, it's not a riddle, folks! :lol: It's a genuine question because I've realised I don't know why those two things are almost a constant on L4U & Egypt4U!

p.s. If anyone else would like to attempt an answer, please feel free!

Basically RS they are all just mining information, they visit all web sites and that is why if you type a search into your browser then it throws up a load of results for your search.

That's what Mr Google said, Horus, in a slightly more wordy paragraph. :up

They are also responsible for the 'Page ranking' or in other words who gets top billing when you do a search. By the way 'Page' ranking is named after a person and not an actual page, not a lot of people know that ;)
